Does anyone remember that just prior to its release they actually did a small concert venue "tour" where people paid for tickets and filled up arenas just to hear the record played over a PA system? No band members present.

The Metallica hype was that big back then.

Reminds me of Wu Tang and their 'secret album'.

I did not know this. That is idiotic. Why would you pay to stand/sit with a bunch of metalheads and listen to metal. you can do that **** for free, man.
